He was one of my favorite patients when I worked in Manchester. I remember when he had a bunch of kittens and they scratched up his hands he came in for us to take care of him. So sad to hear. Condolences to his family!

Al was both a serious and witty man and excelled at any thing he turned his mind to, teacher, selectman for the Town Of Bolton, and State Representative to name a few. He was a man of integrity and his word could be always trusted. The community has suffered a grievous loss.
